Individual therapy is person-centered and geared to encourage independence and self-support.
Clients receive an individualized treatment service plan that includes a thorough clinical assessment, proposed treatment interventions that focus on the clinical feature needing intensive outpatient services, and projected outcomes that can be achieved through strengths-based treatment.
PARENT COUNSELING
Working together, families identify roles, expectations, and negative patterns while exploring the overwhelming effects of behavioral problems and/or substance abuse on the family system.
Within a supportive environment, parents learn better ways to handle frustration, guilt, apathy, and overwhelming feelings. Parents are taught communication skills, limit-setting, and ways to identify negative family patterns and substance abuse. Family Therapy is often incorporated to educate family members on the client's mental illness. Family members are strongly urged to participate in sessions.
Our Parent Counseling works with families raising children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. The team’s goal is to help families improve coping with everyday stressors as well as to develop strategies to address more complicated behavioral and emotional issues. Our clinical team members are master’s level mental health therapists trained in the Positive Behavior Support model.
The program offers:
- Help understanding the meaning of your child’s behavior
- Strategies for working with your child more effectively
- Links to community support
- Behavioral therapy for children and teens.
